Moog Matriarch Paraphonic Unison behavior
Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2024 7:58 am
Hi, I would like to understand better the Matriarch Paraphonic Unison modes.
For 2 voices mode, I get the behavior of the User Manual
- with 1 key pressed I get all 4 osciallors.
- with 2 keys pressed I get on lowest key osc1+osc2, and for highest key osc3+osc4
But for 4 voices mode, I am not sure...
From User Manual: " With the switch set to VOICE MODE 4, adding a
third note assigns a new pitch to Oscillator 3, and adding a fourth note assigns a new pitch to Oscillator 4."
In my case (after experimenting with switching osc volumes to 0, and listining what each one does)
- Osc4 goes to third note
- Osc2 on the fourth note.
- Osc 3 remains on second note
In Conclusion, it seems that Osc3 behaves as Osc2, Osc4 as Osc3, and Osc2 as Osc4.
As typically I set up the Oscs to go up in pitch, this is a bit confusing, but I can work around it...
Still, I would like to understand the behavior.
I am new to the Matriatch so maybe I am doing or understanding something wrong.
Could someone please clarify?
